Steps

Method1

Making Fireball Jello Shot Cupcakes

1

Heat the gelatin and ginger ale. Add your ginger ale to a medium saucepan. Then, sprinkle the gelatin on top of the ginger ale. Let the ginger ale and gelatin soak for two to three minutes before transferring the mixture to the stove. Cook over low heat until the gelatin dissolves completely.

2

Add the whiskey and food coloring. Once the gelatin is dissolved, remove the ginger ale from the stove. Pour in two thirds a cup of your whiskey and then add a few drops of food coloring. Mix everything together until you have an even consistency.

There is no precise amount of food coloring to add, but avoid adding an excessive amount as this can cause an artificial taste.

3

Transfer the mixture to a cupcake tray. Spray down your cupcake tray with a nonstick spray. Fill each compartment with the ginger ale mixture.

4

Refrigerate your cupcakes. Set your cupcakes in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill until the jello becomes solid. Times will vary, but this will take at least a few hours.

5

Make the frosting. Add the butter to a mixing bowl, as well as the additional tablespoon of whiskey, the powdered sugar, and the salt. Beat everything together using an electric mixture until you have a light, fluffy frosting.

6

Frost your cupcakes. Remove the cupcakes from the refrigerator once they've set. Add a dollop of frosting to the top of each cupcake.

If you want, you can add embellishments like sprinkles.

Method2

Making Rainbow Jello Shot Cupcakes

1

Heat the gelatin and lemonade. Use a small saucepan. Pour in your lemonade first and then sprinkle the gelation on top. Heat the pan over low heat, making sure to stir the entire time. Heat it until the gelatin dissolves, which usually takes around five minutes.[1]

2

Add the vodka and milk. Remove the gelatin from the heat. Add the vodka and the condensed milk. Stir all the ingredients together until they're evenly combined.[2]

3

Divide the mixture between six bowls. Take six small mixing bowls. Divide your batter evenly between each bowl. Each bowl should have about half a cup of the gelatin mixture in it.[3]

4

Add your food coloring. To make a rainbow, each bowl of gelatin should colored in one color of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, violet). Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl of gelatin to change it into a color of the rainbow. For the strongest colors, add about six drops of food coloring to each bowl.[4]

5

Refrigerate the red gelatin. Spray down a mini muffin tray with a nonstick cooing spray. Spoon about three fourths of a teaspoon of your red gelatin into the bottom of each compartment. Refrigerate the red gelatin until it sets slightly. This should take about 10 minutes.[5]

6

Add the remaining layers. Once the red gelatin has set, add about three fourths a teaspoon of your orange gelatin on top of the red gelatin. Refrigerate the gelation for about five minutes. Keep up this pattern until you've added all six layers of gelatin.[6]

Add your colors in the order of the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, violet.

7

Refrigerate the cupcakes overnight. After you've added all the layers, place your jello shots in the fridge. Let them refrigerate overnight so they set.[7]

8

Garnish your cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles before serving. If you want, you can add a dollop of frosting to every cupcake. Then, top it off with sprinkles. This adds a little more decoration and flavor to each cupcake.[8]

Method3

Making Pink Champagne Jello Shot Cupcakes

1

Mix your champagne, sparkling water, gelatin, and sugar. Add two ounces of your sparkling water and champagne to a saucepan first. Then, empty the gelatin on top of the champagne/water mixture. Let the gelatin sit for two minutes before mixing in the sugar.[9]

2

Heat your champagne mixture. Place the saucepan on a stove over medium heat. Stir it periodically. Keep heating the mixture until the sugar dissolves. Make sure that the mixture does not boil.[10]

3

Add the remaining ingredients. Remove the mixture from the heat. Mix in the rest of your sparkling water. Then, add just enough food coloring to turn the mixture pink.[11]

4

Blend your mixture. Place everything in a blender. Blend the ingredients together until the pink color is consistent throughout.[12]

5

Add your jello to a cupcake tray. Use a cupcake tray lightly greased with a nonstick spray. Fill each compartment with your gelatin mixture.[13]

6

Refrigerate your mixture. Place the cupcake tray in the fridge. Let the mixture refrigerate until the jello is solid. This should take about 2 hours.[14]

7

Dip the cupcakes in chocolate. Once the cupcakes are set, remove them from the cupcake tray. Dip the tip of each cupcake in melted chocolate.[15]
